Kid Justice

by Mei-chan4

What if Superboy wasn't the only clone created? A girl was created as well. At only five weeks old, she knows and understands even less than Superboy does. How will she change the dynamics of the team? Will she able to help, or will she just cause even more trouble?

3. Teamwork

Sakura02: Best moment in Young Justice ever!
Phoenix: Haha. No, that won't happen until later.
ShadowStar91: She has more of the Kryptonian powers than Superboy, but not all of them. As for the eternal youth thing, that'll come up later on.

Thanks: Hybrid301, Wheelchairmaniac99, The Layman, BrokenAngel363, thunder angel13, Himeno Kazehito, erica. phoenix16, and Guest for reviewing!

"Superkid, you're supposed to put the flour in the bowl, not on yourself." Miss Martian giggled. She wiped a bit of flour off of Superkid's nose.

Superkid crinkled her nose, and wiped off the remaining flower from her forehead. She smiled up at Miss Martian and floated in the air so she could be eye level with Miss Martian. "Can we eat the cookies now?"

"Not yet." Miss Martian said patiently. She finished putting the cookie dough and the baking sheet and slid it into the oven. "They have to bake first…Superkid!"

Superkid paused guiltily, her cookie dough covered finger already in her mouth. She smiled sheepishly at Miss Martian. "It's really good…" She perked up when she heard the computer announcing Aqualad's arrival. She flew into the main area with Miss Martian close behind her. Superboy was already there. "Aqualad!"

Aqualad smiled and patted Superkid's head. "Hello, Superkid. I trust you are adjusting well."

"Yes! When Robin and Kid Flash get here, you all have to come see my room! Miss Martian helped me decorate it." Superkid said excitedly.

Superboy reached over and gently pushed on Superkid's head so her feet were on the ground. "Red Tornado should be here soon."

At that moment, the computer announced Robin and Kid Flash. Robin adjusted a rather large teddy bear in his arms. He grinned as Superkid flew over to him and Kid Flash. "Hey, Superkid. I got this for you."

Superkid looked at the giant teddy bear in awe. It was bigger than she was. She jumped on top of it and grinned. "Thanks, Robin! I love it!"

Robin grinned at the frowning Superboy. "I just saw it the other day and thought she might like it. Little girls like things like this, you know?"

"So, have you guys asked him yet?" Kid Flash asked excitedly.

Superkid dragged the giant teddy bear back over to the others. "He's almost here."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Kid Flash jogged off towards the main entrance of the cave with Robin close on his heels.

"Leave that in here, Superkid." Miss Martian said. "You don't want your new bear to get dirty, do you?"

Superkid quickly shook her head. She let go over her bear and flew off after Kid Flash and the others. The group reached the opening hatch just as Red Tornado landed on the ground. Superkid smiled shyly at the robot. She still wasn't quite sure what to make of their supervisor. "Hi, Red Tornado."

Red Tornado stared at the clearly excited group before him. "Greetings. Is there a reason that you have intercepted me outside the cave?"

Aqualad stepped forward. "We had hoped you had a mission assignment for us."

"Mission assignments are The Batman's responsibility." Red Tornado answered in a completely monotone voice.

"It's been over a week!" Robin protested.

"You will all be tested soon enough." Red Tornado said. "For the time being, simply enjoy each other's company."

Superkid puffed her cheeks out and crossed her arms in annoyance. "I want to go on a mission now…" Secretly, she hoped that if they went on a mission and did well, that Superman would finally acknowledge her.

"This is not a social club." Aqualad added to Superkid's statement.

"No." Red Tornado agreed. "I am told that social interactions are good for team building, though. Perhaps you can keep yourselves busy by familiarizing yourselves with the cave." He walked past the group and into the cave.

Robin huffed. "Does he think we're falling for this?"

"Oh, I can find out!" Miss Martian whispered loudly. She stared intently at Red Tornado's retreating back. She sighed after a minute. "I'm sorry. I forgot that he is a machine…inorganic. I cannot read his mind."

Superkid pushed herself off the ground and wrapped her arms around Miss Martian's shoulders to hug her. She'd found she rather liked hugs. Superboy wasn't too keen on hugging, especially when others were around, but Miss Martian and Robin were always more than willing to hug her. "At least you tried."

Kid Flash slid over to Miss Martian and grinned at her. "So…do you know what I'm thinking right now?"

"We all know what you're thinking now." Robin snapped, elbowing Kid Flash in the side.

Superkid frowned. "I don't."

"You don't need to." Aqualad assured. He reached over and patted her on the head. He sighed. "I suppose now we tour the clubhouse."

"The three of us live here, so we can be your tour guides." Miss Martian offered, motioning to herself and the two Supers.

"Don't look at me." Superboy grouched out.

Kid Flash grinned and turned his attention back to Miss Martian. "We won't. I'd love the private tour."

"She never said private!" Robin snapped.

Superkid blinked and finally released her grip on Miss Martian. She landed on the ground beside Superboy and attached herself to his hand. She leaned back on her heels and looked up at the blue sky. "I don't get what's going on." All she received from Superboy was a shrug.

"This is teambuilding." Aqualad said. "We'll all go."

Robin took Superkid's hand while Miss Martian gave the tour of the cave. "Do you like your new home?"

Superkid nodded excitedly, strands of her hair falling out of her pigtails. "Yup. I've got a huge bed, and my room is big enough to fit all the toys you bought me. Can I show you, Kid Flash, and Aqualad later?"

"Of course." Robin said, grinning.

Superboy sniffed the air. "I smell smoke."

"The cookies!" Miss Martian gasped out. She flew off to the kitchen.

"Not the cookies!" Superkid cried, flying quickly after the Martian. She hovered in the air next to Miss Martian and sniffled as Miss Martian pulled out the charred cookies. She and Miss Martian had worked so hard to make them. "I wanted cookies…"

"I'm sure they would've tasted great." Robin said, trying to console the two girls. "Besides, he doesn't seem to mind." He pointed over at where Kid Flash was already shoving two burned cookies into his mouth.

"I…have a serious metabolism." Kid Flash said when he saw everyone looking at him.

Miss Martian managed a small smile. "Superkid and I will make more."

"It was sweet of you to make any." Aqualad assured.

Superkid smiled over at the Atlantean. "Thanks, Aqualad."

"Please. We are off duty." Aqualad said. "Call me Kaldur'ahm. Actually, my friends just call me Kaldur." He said with a small smile.

"I'm Wally." Kid Flash said in a low voice. He leaned against the counter and smiled dreamily at Miss Martian. "See, I already trust you with my secret identity. Unlike Mr. Dark Glasses over there." He motioned over to a clearly annoyed Robin. "Batman has forbidden Boy Wonder from telling anyone his real name."

Miss Martian smiled. "My name is no secret. You can call me M'gann M'orzz. Or, you can all call me Megan. It's an Earth name, and I'm on Earth now."

Superkid flew over to Superboy and hugged him. Neither she nor Superboy had a name yet, just the one Cadmus had assigned them. She knew it bothered Superboy quite a bit. She blinked as he suddenly snarled.

"Get out of my head!" He snapped, glaring over at Miss Martian.

"What's wrong? I don't understand." Miss Martian asked in everyone's minds.

Superkid clutched her head tightly in her hands. "Don't do that! I don't like it!"

"But…everyone on Mars communicates telepathically."

"Stop, M'gann!" Aqualad said after the shock had worn off. His words came out a bit more harshly than he'd intended them to. He began again, speaking much more softly and patiently, like he did when explaining things to Superkid. "Things are different on Earth. Here, your powers are an extreme invasion of privacy."

"Besides, Cadmus's G-Gnomes left a bad taste in Superboy's brain." Wally said light heartedly.

Megan looked over at Superboy. "I'm…sorry. I didn't mean…"

"Just stay out." Superboy snarled. He stormed over to the living room and plopped down on one of the green couches.

Superkid frowned over at Superboy. She flew over to him and sat down beside him. She smiled and hugged him when he glanced down at her. She barely noticed the others leaving the room. She rested her head against his arm. "It's okay, Superboy…"

Miss Martian stuck her head nervously back into the living room. "Superkid…Superboy…please?"

"Don't talk to me." Superboy mumbled. He winced when Superkid pinched him. He glanced over and saw the sad look on Miss Martian's face. Sighing, he stood and dragged Superkid along behind him. He didn't miss the way Miss Martian's face lit up.

Miss Martian led the group to the elevator. They went down a few floors before the elevator finally stopped. Miss Martian flew out and beamed proudly. "It's my Martian Bio-Ship." She gestured proudly to a large red and black egg like object sitting in the middle of the otherwise empty room."

Kid Flash raised a curious eyebrow. "That's…cute. Not really aerodynamic, but cute."

Miss Martian giggled. She held her hand out to the Bio-Ship. "It's at rest, silly."

"That's so cool!" Superkid gasped out when the oval changed into a very aerodynamic ship. She flew over to it as soon as Miss Martian opened the doors. Superkid was the first one to board. She quickly picked one of the window seats.

"Strap in for launch." Miss Martian said. She sat herself at the pilot's seat with Robin and Kid Flash on either side of her.

Superboy sat down between Superkid and Aqualad. He rolled his eyes as Superkid began bouncing up and down excitedly in her seat. "Sit still."

Superkid pouted, but complied. She fiddled with her fingers while the bay doors opened and they began to take off. She definitely preferred flying herself over flying in the ship, but it was still pretty cool. She looked over when she heard Aqualad quietly giving Superboy advice on how to apologize to Miss Martian. Superkid slid her chair closer to her brother and patted his arm.

Superboy gave her a small smile and ruffled her hair.

"You messed up my pigtails!" Superkid wailed. She did her best to fix them, but eventually gave up and just pulled her hair loose. She glanced over when she heard Miss Martian talking to Robin about Superboy. "You know we can hear you, right? We've got super hearing." She smiled at the embarrassed look on Miss Martian's face. "Don't worry. Brother doesn't seem to like anyone really."

"Why don't you show us some Martian shape shifting?" Robin suggested when he saw Superboy glare at Superkid.

Miss Martian cracked a small smile and stood up. She first shifted into a female version of Robin, then of Kid Flash.

"Is it wrong that I think I'm hot?" Kid Flash muttered.

Superkid giggled. "That was so cool."

"That was pretty impressive." Robin said with a smile. "You know you won't really fool anyone with those disguises, though."

Miss Martian changed back and sat back down. "Boys are a lot harder to mimic."

"How'd your clothes change?" Superkid asked curiously.

"They're organic like the ship." Miss Martian explained. "They respond to my mental commands."

"As long as they're the only things…ow!" He glared at Superkid and rubbed his arm where she'd punched him. "Brat."

"Meanie head." Superkid retorted.

"Want to see what else the ship can do?" Miss Martian asked, deciding it was best to intervene. She smiled as the ship became invisible. "Camouflage Mode."

"Red Tornado to Miss Martian." Red Tornado's voice echoed through the ship. "An emergency alarm has been triggered at the Happy Harbor power plant. I suggest you investigate covertly. I am now sending the coordinates."

Robin frowned. "Red Tornado is keeping us busy…"

Miss Martian smiled. "Hey, a simple fire led you guys to Superboy and Superkid. We should at least check it out."

Superkid tugged on Superboy's jacket, her eyes fixed on something outside the window. "Do you think that's what caused the alarm?" She asked. She pointed out the window at a large twister approaching them. She yelped in alarm as the ship was sucked into the twister.

Miss Martian managed to get the ship out of the twister. She opened the doors and the group leapt out of the ship.

Aqualad eyed the twister that was now going through the power plant warily. "Robin, are tornados common in New England?" He looked over when he didn't receive an answer. "Robin?"

"How'd he do that?" Superkid asked once the group realized Robin was gone. They quickly rushed into the power plant just in time to see Robin get slammed into a pillar. Superkid flew over and landed beside Robin. "Are you okay?" She looked over at the tall red and black armor standing a few feet away. A strange contraption was on its back, and a brown scarf covered the lower half of its face.

"Who's your friend?" Superboy asked.

Robin sat up. "I'm fine. I didn't catch his name, but he plays kind of rough!"

"My apologies!" The enemy sneered. "You may address me as Mister Twister."

"Seriously? That's your name?" Superkid asked, flying towards Mister Twister with Superboy running beside her. She yelped as a small twister caught her and threw her roughly into a nearby wall. She had to fight to remain conscious. She sat up in time to see Kid Flash get thrown outside. Miss Martian landed beside Superkid, while Aqualad landed a few feet away.

"I was expecting to fight a superhero, not a bunch of children." Mister Twister said. "Have you know adult supervision? I find your presence here…disturbing."

"Sorry about that." Robin said. He glanced over as Miss Martian, Aqualad, Superboy, and Superkid all came to stand beside him. "Maybe you'll be more turbed once we kick your can!"

Miss Martian used her powers to knock the lid off of a steam vent directly above Mister Twister. Superboy and Superkid once again charged at Mister Twister. They met the same fate they did last time. Superkid was lucky enough to not be slammed into Miss Martian like Superboy was. By the time she managed to stand up, Mister Twister was gone. "We've got to stop him."

"Oh, we will." Robin assured. The team quickly rushed outside in time to see Kid Flash being thrown towards the building.

"I've got you, Wally!" Miss Martian used her telekinesis to stop Kid Flash from slamming into the wall. She gently placed him on the ground.

Mister Twister floated in the air, staring down at the team. "I would've thought you would have all learned your limitations by now."

Superkid glared up at him. "What do you want?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm waiting for a real hero." Mister Twister responded.

"Read his mind and find a weakness." Aqualad ordered to Miss Martian.

Miss Martian hesitated. "I thought I wasn't supposed to read minds!"

"It's okay with the bad guys!" Robin shouted.

Miss Martian concentrated for a moment. "Nothing…I'm getting nothing. Hello, Megan!" She smacked herself in the forehead. "It's so obvious. Mister Twister is Red Tornado in disguise. He's inorganic, an android! How many androids do you know that can generate tornados?"

"One?" Superkid said unsurely. "Is that a trick question?"

"Red Tornado sent us here!" Aqualad said.

"After telling us we'd be tested soon." Robin added, clearly angry. "This is his test! Something to keep us busy."

"Speedy called it; we're a joke." Kid Flash snarled.

"Who's Speedy?" Superkid asked. She didn't receive an answer as the rest of the group was clearly upset by their realization.

Aqualad glared up at Mister Twister. "We know who you are and what you want! So, let's end this!"

"Consider it ended." Mister Twister began forming a large tornado. The sky turned dark, and the clouds became black.

Aqualad rested a reassuring hand on Superkid's head when he saw her shifting nervously. "An impressive show, but we will not indulge you! We will not engage!"

Superkid looked nervously up at the sky as lightning cracked overhead. "Can Red Tornado do that?"

"You think I am Red Tornado?" Mister Twister scoffed. "Ironic." He shot two large bolts of lightning at the team's feet, causing a rather large explosion.

Superkid tried to shake the darkness from the corners of her eyes. She was about to get up to try and help Superboy attack Mister Twister, but Miss Martian, placed her hand over Superkid's. She rushed over to Superboy's side when he was roughly thrown to the ground by Mister Twister.

Miss Martian quickly summoned her Bio-Ship, which was still in camouflage mode. She placed a hand over Wally's mouth when he woke up.

It felt weird to Superkid that she could see Mister Twister through the ship, but it didn't appear as though he could see them.

"I'll admit you children have power." Mister Twister said, hovering just a few feet above them. "However, I do not have time to play hide-and-seek with you. Stay concealed, and stay out of my way." He then flew away.

"What happened?" Kid Flash asked warily.

"I placed the Bio-Ship between us." She looked up at the sound of Superboy angrily punching at the upturned dirt.

Superkid flinched and scooted a bit away from Superboy. "Superboy…"

"You think that makes it better?" He growled. Superboy stormed over to Miss Martian and glared down at her. "You tricked us into thinking that Mister Twister was Red Tornado!"

"She didn't do it on purpose!" Superkid grabbed onto Superboy's arm.

"It was a rookie mistake." Robin said. "We shouldn't have listened to her."

Kid Flash looked at Miss Martian, a frown on his face. "You are pretty inexperienced." He offered. "Hit the showers, we'll deal with him."

"Stay out of our way." Superboy snapped. He grabbed Superkid's hand and began dragging her away.

"So what's the plan?" Superkid asked once they'd caught up to Mister Twister.

"We hit him with everything we've got." Kid Flash answered, already running at Mister Twister.

Superkid didn't bother arguing. They needed to stop Mister Twister before he hurt any innocent people. She charged at Mister Twister and was once again thrown through the air. She waited for the harsh impact of her back meeting the ground, but instead landed on something slightly softer. She smiled up at Aqualad who had caught her. "Thanks."

"Any time." He answered. He rolled out of the way with Superkid to avoid a flying Superboy and boat. He put Superkid on the ground. "Stay put."

"Everyone, listen to me." Miss Martian said in everyone's minds. "I know I messed up, but I'm now very clear on what we need to do. Please trust me." She quickly relayed the plan to the group telepathically.

A few moments later, Red Tornado flew down from the sky. "Hit the showers. I was hoping you could handle this. Clearly, you cannot."

"We've got a plan now!" Superkid protested.

"The subject is not up for debate." Red Tornado said. He waited until the team had dispersed.

Superkid watched from a short distance with Aqualad, Superboy, and Robin while Red Tornado fought against Mister Twister. She grinned when Mister Twister knocked Red Tornado down, only to discover it was Miss Martian shape shifted, and that Kid Flash had been creating the tornados. "Our turn, Superboy."

The two clones rushed forward and began punching away at Mister Twister. The two punched him in the face, sending him flying into the nearby harbor. Superkid grinned and held her fist up to her brother.

Superboy gave a small smile and returned the fist bump. The two watched as Mister Twister was thrown out of the water, courtesy of Aqualad.

Miss Martian held Mister Twister in the air and tore off his arms telepathically, while Robin threw a few bombs into the android. The group stood in front of Mister Twister as he fell to the ground.

A man fell out of Mister Twister. He was rather weak and pitiful looking. His face reminded Superkid of a monkey. "Foul…" The man stuttered out. "I call foul."

Miss Martian stared at him for a moment. She lifted a rock up the air with her powers, and brought down on top of the man.

The group stood in stunned silence. Superkid let out a small gasp, which broke Robin from his stupor. He glared angrily over at Miss Martian, and stormed over to her. "I don't know how you do things on Mars, but on Earth we don't execute our captives!"

Miss Martian simply smiled. "You said you'd trust me." She lifted the rock up to reveal a broken android. "That's why I couldn't read his mind."

Kid Flash knelt down and picked up one of the android's green eyes. "Cool. Souvenir."

Aqualad smiled and placed a hand on Miss Martian's shoulder. "We should have trusted you."

Superkid hugged Miss Martian around the waist. "I'm glad you aren't a murderer."

The team got on the Bio-Ship and returned to the cave with the destroyed android. They explained everything to Red Tornado when they finally arrived. "It was clear that he was sent to destroy or sabotage you." Aqualad said.

"Is that why you wouldn't help us?" Miss Martian asked curiously.

"No." Red Tornado answered plainly. "This was your battle. I do not believe it is my place to solve your problems for you, nor should you solve mine for me."

Superkid frowned. "What if you're in danger?"

"Consider the matter closed." Red Tornado said before walking away.

"Batman, Aquaman, or Flash would've jumped in to fix things." Kid Flash muttered.

Robin shrugged. "Guess if we're going to have a babysitter, a heartless machine is exactly what we need."

Superkid pouted up at Robin and tugged on his hand. "That's mean, Robin."

"And inaccurate." Red Tornado said, still walking away. "I have a heart. It is carbon steel alloy. I also have excellent hearing."

Superkid giggled at the embarrassed look on Robin's face. She jumped up and down excitedly. "Hey, can I show you guys my room now?" She quickly led Robin away, with Kid Flash and Aqualad following close behind. She smiled when she heard Superboy say a simple sorry to Miss Martian. This team was the best thing to ever happen to her.
